Lots of Brazilian #zebrafish labs involved in this one 👏
What if an entire country turned a mirror on its science?
🪞 The Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative, winner of the 2025 Institutional #EinsteinFoundationAward, shows what’s possible when labs collaborate nationwide to improve research reliability.

Can't believe that our pre-print on the evolution of iridescence in swordtails was covered by @elearlybird.bsky.social on the TWiEVO podcast! I love the suggestion to rename the endogenous foamy retrovirus to "sparkle pony" -- what do you think @nadiahaghani.bsky.social?

One of my favorite preprints of the year from the great @mollyschumer.bsky.social. A foamy virus that makes things sparkle, now up on TWiEVO episode 120 for some podcast peer review www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T65...

Wonderful new global initiative for the fish community 🐟 To follow more news on this, follow @shoalbase.bsky.social 🧪
🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.
ShoalBase | Join, Explore, Contribute Now
ShoalBase offers a global database on fish social behaviour, supporting research, conservation, and ecology through community contributions and visual data mapping.
